American Flat Track Rider Bio

Brandon Robinson

Rider Bio Show Hide

Despite returning to privateer status, Brandon Robinson reminded the paddock just how talented he is during an impressive 2019 American Flat Track season. He came out swinging, scoring a pair of victories and three podiums over the season’s first five races while etching out a place as an early-season title favorite. While he faded from championship contention down the stretch, Robinson still finished fifth in the AFT Twins standings with six top-five finishes to his credit. Late in the year, he reunited with the factory Harley-Davidson and rounded his season out with an impressive fourth-place run aboard the XG750R in the finale. The ‘19 season recalled Robinson’s breakout 2013 season in which he emerged as one of the elite riders in the paddock. That year, he won three races (more than any other rider) and took six podiums on his way to third in the final Grand National Championship standings. He backed that up with another top-three GNC season in 2016, scoring another win and earning seven fourth-or-better finishes in all that year. Robinson’s confidence subsequently took a hit as he battled to bring the factory XG750R up to speed during the early days of its development. He’s come out the other end even stronger as evidenced by his performance in 2019, including his late season form back aboard the improving XG. He’s back on a privateer Indian FTR750 for 2020, campaigning the AFT SuperTwins championship with JCSIII & Ben Evans Racing backed by Roof Systems. A friendly, affable character in the paddock, the Pennsylvania native started riding when he was just three and has been racing since he was four. He’s just as happy on a human-powered two-wheeler, road and mountain bicycling in his free time. He also enjoys spending time with his pet cat, Willy Nameth.
